Frankfort. Many letters were
written by Individual members during the meeting.
A delegation
of club members
will go to Frankfort this week to
make personal contacts in regard
to the legislative program.
Chaplain Talks to Club
Rabbi Albert M. Lewis, now on
terminal leave as an Army Air
Force's Chaplain, addressed
the
veterans. His talk was part of the
University's program for "Religious
Empliasis Week."
The dance committee reported
the club treasury would be enriched
more than $450 from profits of the
dance and suggested some of these
funds be used to equip the club office in the basement of the Administration building with needed fur
niture and supplies.
New members were added to the
membership committee and authorizations were made for them to
advertise the club in any feasible
manner and to work on plans for
making every veteran on the campus a member of the club.
Much interest has been shown in
the club by the new veterans coming in for the winter quarter and
more than 100 of them have al
ready become members.
A memorandum was sent to Dean
W. W. White asking that automatic
credits be given to veterans in the
required community health course.
Also discussed were the club's
weekly radio program on WLAP
and the activities of the OPA in
regard to alleged excessive rent
charges being made by local housing agencies.
Officers of the club arc: Joe CovBill Fulton,

Congress this week gave President Truman's
financial plans their support when they voted to
keep taxes at a high level while maintaining the
price control. No dale was set for the extension
of ihe control, but ihe favorable reception given
the suggestion shows lhat it will pass.
However, if they were agreed on fiscal plans,
they were certainly disagreed on some of the
other measures backed by Mr. Truman. The
extension of the draft Ixyond the May l"th
mark was greeted rather coolly, while the Army-Navmerger seemed doomed to many months
of waiting.

Murray, holding out for a wage ixxm of IQt,

offer of 13 tents an hour increase. President
Truman, angered by the lack of coojeraiion
between the two, gave them his ultimatum a
